missing Thailand and my go-to red curry


Hey friend,

Let’s skip straight to the photo this week because how gorgeous is this color???

Frank and I have been feeling nostalgic lately for the years we lived in Bangkok. We hope to take the kids back there soon, but it’s not in the cards just yet. In the meantime, we like to bring Thailand to us through its food.

So if you don’t like the way I made it (with squash and chicken), I’ve included a list of easy customizations to help you make this recipe your own.

I’m a fan of whatever gets dinner on the table with the least amount of frustration, but if you’re feeling like making authentic Thai food at home, I have a whole list of ideas and recipes for you here.

Good morning! Charcuterie boards are pretty much the best addition to any gathering. They’re fun to make, look great and they give everyone something to snack on without having to serve a full meal. But sometimes those huge elaborate displays (I’ve seen some truly wild ones online) don’t make any sense. Here’s my quick tip for you this week: mini charcuterie boards! Click here to learn how! Small charcuterie boards work great when you want everyone to get an even mix of foods or when you want...

Happy Monday! We had a full weekend of all the fall things. A bike ride with the girls and applesauce in the slow cooker. I had time to get our meal plan for the week lined up which always makes the week go so much more smoothly. With the weather cooling down, one of the highlights of the week is Vegetarian Lentil Chili - I'm so excited for this one (and all the toppings). Lentil Chili Recipe Today I'm over on Instagram sharing my own meal plan for the week. I love seeing what others are...
